ALEXANDRIA BAY â Brian T. and Diane M. Willix decided to tell the community they found out two of their employees at the Big M Supermarket tested positive for COVID-19.
It was Wednesday morning when Mr. Willix was called by one of his employees in the meat department, who said he tested positive. Mr. Willix, like many employers might do despite making efforts to prevent it, immediately started blaming himself.
One more employee who worked closely in the meat department tested positive, and two others in the department tested negative. Mr. Willix, who has run the store with his wife since 2012, sterilized the store while the other employees entered quarantine.
